So, is bluntness a bad thing?
From CNS:
Two of Pope Benedict XVI’s three foreign trips this year have generated interreligious incidents that quickly overshadowed the main message of the papal visits.
The author of the article lists various statements made by Benedict XVI about other religions that have “strained interreligious relations.” Well, I read over those statements, and what it looks like to me is that whenever B16 makes a statement about Church doctrine (which he was resposible for as Cardinal Ratzinger and continues to be as Pope) it’s offensive. Heaven forbid any of those easily offended ever pick up the Catechism. Their heads would explode.
What’s really annoying is that this CNS writer seems to be editorializing a bit…a little too much is implied or appears as opinion.
